No, surely what Thomas is saying is that there should be a way to 'render' or
mixdown a selected number of clips, rather than the whole session. This would
also be useful when you need to mixdown just part of a session. As far as I can
tell, there's currently no way to do this - it's either render the whole
session or nothing.

So such a feature would be useful both for off-line processing and, I think, is
an essential general part of a multitrack. To dismiss this out of hand would be
foolish.

I understood the orginal post to mean processing on indivdual events and not a
mix down type of processes...

Regardless, you can render selectively.

You can solo or mute either tracks or buses (Main or FX) and then do a Mix to
New in a number of different ways.

For example, let say you have a set of tracks that are you drums and you want
to do a sub mix to a new track. Solo all of the tracks that you want or if you
have a bus set up strictly for drums, solo that bus. You then select Mix to New
with the appropriate settings - you have a lot of options here. You will then
get a new track that has all processing and only contains the audio

You can also select only a portion of the time line to be mixed to new.

So, you can generate mono files, Stereo files, one stereo file per bus,
multiple mono files per bus. By soloing and muting busses and tracks, you can
render only what you want.

Does this allow you to accomplish what you desire?

I believe that the original idea would today be called automatic, continuous background rendering. Pinnacle has this wonderful feature now. You missed out when it was suggested 3 years ago and forgotten.

For those who may have actually tried (as opposed to read PR about) background rendering: Can you continue to edit, add fx, mix, preview etc with acceptable app performance while the background auto-rendering is going on?
